Q: gnu parallel to parallelize a for loop I have seen several questions about this topic, but I lack the ability to translate this to my specific problem. I have a for loop that loops through sub directories and then executes a .sh script on a compressed text file inside each directory. I want to parallelize this process, but I'm struggling to apply gnu parallel.
Here is my loop:
for d in ./*/ ; do (cd "$d" && script.sh); done

I understand I need to input a list into parallel, so i have been trying this:
ls -d */ | parallel cd && script.sh

While this appears to get started, I get an error when gzip tries to unzip one of the txt files inside the directory, saying the file does not exist:
gzip: *.txt.gz: No such file or directory

However, when I run the original for loop, I have no issues aside from it taking a century to finish. Also, I only get the gzip error once when using parallel, which is so weird considering I have over 1000 sub-directories.
My questions are:

*

*How do I get Parallel to work in my case? How do I get parallel to parallelize the application of a .sh script to 1000s of files in their own sub-directories? ie- what is the solution to my problem? I gotta make progress.

*What am I missing? Syntax, loop, bad script? I want to learn.

*Is Parallel actually attempting to run all these .sh scripts in parallel? Why dont I get an error for every .txt.gz file?

*Is parallel the best option for the application? Is there another option that is better suited to my needs?

A: Two problems:

*

*In:
ls -d */ | parallel cd && script.sh

what is paralleled is just cd, not script.sh. script.sh is only executed once, after all parallel cd jobs have run, if there was no error. It is the same as:
ls -d */ | parallel cd
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then script.sh; fi

*You do not pass the target directory to cd. So, what is executed by parallel is just cd, which just changes the current directory to your home directory. The final script.sh is executed in the current directory (from where you invoked the command) where there are probably no *.txt.gz files, thus the error.
You can check yourself the effect of the first problem with:
$ mkdir /tmp/foobar && cd /tmp/foobar && mkdir a b c
$ ls -d */ | parallel cd && pwd
/tmp/foobar

The output of pwd is printed only once, even if you have more than one input directory. You can fix it by quoting the command and then check the second problem with:
$ ls -d */ | parallel 'cd && pwd'
/homes/myself
/homes/myself
/homes/myself

You should see as many pwd outputs as there are input directories but it is always the same output: your home directory. You can fix the second problem by using the {} replacement string that is substituted with the current input. Check it with:
$ ls -d */ | parallel 'cd {} && pwd'
/tmp/foobar/a
/tmp/foobar/b
/tmp/foobar/c

Now, you should have all input directories properly listed in the output.
For your specific problem this should work:
ls -d */ | parallel 'cd {} && script.sh'


First American WWII half-track by Dragon Models!!!
Dragon is launching a fantastic new 1/35 kit of the M2 half-track. Modelers will find that this new Smart kit showcases the latest in modeling manufacturing with Dragon's benchmark accuracy and clever use of technology. All toolings are brand new, and based on careful measurements taken directly from surviving vehicles. The highly detailed kit is packed with special features and options, with widespread use of slide molds and photo-etched metal components. In fact, it is a 2-in-1 kit, since the M2A1 can also be produced from the box contents.
There was a major difference between the M2 and M2A1 - the former had a skate rail for AA machine guns fitted around the inner edge of the rear compartment, while the M2A1 eliminated the skate ring and had an M49 ring mount for a .50-cal machine gun located in a "pulpit" over the co-driver's seat. It also had three pintle mounts in the rear for a .30-cal machine gun. Either of these vehicles can be fully built up, since all necessary parts for both vehicles are included.
With the smallest nut and bolt detail beautifully replicated, the latest slide molds and photo-etched metal components utilized, it is the best 1/35th M2/M2A1 kit to have in your collection.


ISIS on Ropes, but What Comes Next?
While the focus still remains on the threat ISIS poses as it controls territory, its defeat would also, paradoxically, increase risks to states and the probability of conflict.
Since the ISIS capture of Mosul in June 2014, the Iraqi government has made the recapture of the city a key domestic goal in its fight to reclaim its territory and reassert its control over a restive minority Sunni population.
In the struggle to unify Libya, conflict continues to plague the center of the country as militants linked to the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) continue to take control of territory and threaten the critical oil processing and export sites in the Gulf of Sirte.

For a gringo, there is a lifetime of education available in the word "huevón." In most Spanish speaking countries, huevón would mean giant eggs, like chicken eggs the size of ostrich eggs. A man has huevas - balls. Just like in English, this can be literally and figuratively. You can see where this is going. Chileans, all Chileans, go around calling each other, "big balls." It's a little odd.
Huevear: a verb meaning, "to goof off."
There are multiple resources for deeper investigation into this fine word. How to Survive in the Chilean Jungle, by John Brennan is a personal favorite. Nos vemos en Chile, huevón!

News World Drug and medical suppliers say urgently need Brexit freight plans
Drug and medical suppliers say urgently need Brexit freight plans
Makers and suppliers of life-saving drugs and medical devices say they have still not been told by British authorities how their goods will be handled if the UK leaves the European Union without a deal at the end of October.
Some larger pharmaceutical companies have opted to make their own plans to replenish supplies of critical medicines in the event of a "no deal" Brexit, industry groups said on Friday, while others are aiming to book slots in the government's air and ferry freight plan.
But despite repeated and urgent requests to the government for details, medicines suppliers still don't know which ports such shipments will depart from, the timings and lengths of the journeys, or where they will arrive in the UK.
With some cross-channel trips taking as little as an hour, and others taking six or more, this heightens the potential risk for some medicines which may need refrigeration, the groups said, and raises questions about the number of drivers needed and the length of their working shifts.
"The industry doesn't know which ports will be available, which ferries will be available. So we don't known which ferries are coming from where to where," said Steve Bates, chief executive of the UK BioIndustry Association.
"We have been repeatedly asking for this," he said, adding that with fewer than six weeks to go before the current Oct. 31 Brexit deadline "everything is become increasingly urgent".
The Department for Transport said on Friday it had shortlisted eight companies which could bid to bring in drugs, using ports away from areas that are likely to face disruption.
It said the contracts – awarded to ferry companies, Eurotunnel and an aircraft charter company – would provide capacity equivalent to thousands of trucks per week.
Two Brexit deadlines have already been and gone, but Prime Minister Boris Johnson has now vowed to take Britain out of the EU with or without a deal by the end of October – increasing the chance of a sudden departure that will bring trade tariffs and customs checks with the continent for the first time in decades.
The risk is particularly acute for the pharmaceutical industry, which imports 37 million packs of medicines into the UK from the rest of Europe every month.
Briefing reporters on Friday, leaders of drug industry groups and medical research charities said they have been working for three years on contingency plans and are broadly confident that UK doctors, hospitals and patients will not face immediate or dangerous medical shortages.
"This is all about managing risk," said Mike Thompson, chief executive of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry. "The scale of this means that we have to be sensible and prepare for shortages, but the system is well geared up for managing that."

Funawa Honten (Main Store) is a store selling sweet‐potato pastes since 1902. It also has a cafe where you can enjoy the sweets.
Funawa Honten (Main Store) is located in Asakusa, one of the towns in the Shitamachi (downtown) area. Its history dates back to 1902, when it opened as a famed store of sweet‐potato pastes. Sweet potatoes were used for the recipe instead of neri-yokan (curds of sweet red-bean paste), which was too expensive for ordinary citizens. Sweet‐potato paste is recommended by the Tokyo Tourism Association as a souvenir, and the store continues to expand its business in department stores nationwide along with the main store. On the first floor is where sweets like mitsumame, anko-dama (balls of red-bean paste) and steamed chestnut yokan are sold; on the second floor is the cafe, where you can enjoy tasting various sweets such as the sweet‐potato pastes, mitsumame fruits, oshiruko (sweet red beans with rice cakes) and parfaits. The modern atmosphere inside the store helps you relax. A five-minute walk from Asakusa Station brings you to the store.

Investing in Fishtown Analytics, the makers of dbt
by Martin Casado
Every so often there is a software project released that has so much momentum and buzz, you start to run into it all the time. That was certainly the case with dbt. I've had many days where dbt would arise in conversations across a broad swath of meetings – investors curious about it, startups using it, larger companies partnering with it. We'd been tracking dbt, and the team behind it, for over a year, and were always huge fans of both. But the asymptotic rise in excitement around it surprised even us.
So, what is dbt, and why all the excitement? Let's start with a bit of background.
As we've stated many times before, one of the biggest macro trends in infrastructure is the shift to data. Underlying this shift is a shift in how we build data infrastructure. Over the last few years, we've seen a meteoric rise in the use of cloud data warehouses (e.g. Redshift, Big Query and Snowflake), and the emergence of a new paradigm for handing data.
Traditionally, data was extracted, transformed, then loaded – or "ETL," for short – into a database. For ETL, complex transformation pipelines were built at the data source. However, cloud data warehouses have finally made it cost effective to store all of a company's data in a central location, and we no longer need to transform data before we load it. In short, ETL has become ELT – "Extract, Load, Transform."
In ELT, data is first extracted from the sources, using a tool like Fivetran (also an a16z investment), loaded into the cloud data warehouse, and then transformed into the format needed for analytics processing. Further, because all of the data sits in the same location, the transformations can be far more sophisticated and draw on data from diverse sources. ELT is both simpler and more powerful than the traditional ETL model, and we strongly believe it is the future for getting data into the analytics stack.
So where does dbt fit in all of this? It is the leading open source tool for doing transformations. In other words, it is the T in ELT.
There are a number of reasons dbt stood out to us. To begin with, dbt is built around SQL as a transformation language and is accessible to anyone who knows SQL, which all data analysts do. Second, it has an incredibly vibrant community of users who absolutely love the product. The traction really is best of breed for bottoms up, open source projects. Over the last year, they've managed double digit MoM growth.
Finally, we fell in love with the team. Data infrastructure is a deep, complicated space that's going through a massive transformation. There are legacy tools, and legacy understanding, as well as quickly emerging platforms. It takes a very special skill set to bridge that gap, and to build a community around a go-forward vision! And that is what the founding team of Fishtown Analytics (the company behind dbt) has done. The founders, Tristan, Drew, and Connor, have deep experience running data infrastructure services, and they've used that deep understanding of the user and problem space to build the right tool for an exciting, and rapidly expanding, market.
And so we're absolutely thrilled to announce our partnership with Fishtown Analytics. And we know that dbt is only the beginning. We've entered an era where data is a first class infrastructure component, and we strongly believe Fishtown Analytics is the right team to build the tooling to tame, and transform, it.

Vancouver, BC (FSCwire) - 92 Resources Corp. (the "Company") (TSX.V: NTY) (OTCQB: RGDCF) (FSE: R9G2) is pleased to announce that it is has entered into an Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with Osisko Mining Inc. ("Osisko") to acquire up to a 75% interest in twenty-eight (28) claims directly adjoining the Company's 100% owned Corvette Property. The claims comprise the eastern portion of Osisko's FCI Property (the "FCI Property"). Both properties (collectively, the "Corvette-FCI Property") are located in the James Bay Region of Quebec, approximately 10 kilometres south of the all-season Trans-Taiga Road and powerline infrastructure corridor.
The prospective trend is highlighted by the CV1 Pegmatite where reconnaissance sampling in 2017 returned 3.48% Li2O in grab sample, with exploration in 2018 resulting in two new spodumene-bearing pegmatite discoveries termed CV3 and CV4 (see news releases dated October 5th, 2017 and August 13th, 2018). Assays from the 2018 channel sampling and prospecting program will be reported shortly.
In addition to the strong lithium potential, the FCI Property also includes the Lac Bruno Gold Showing, defined as a gold and sulphide-bearing amphibolite boulder with an assay of 38.1 g/t Au. The showing was discovered by Virginia Mines Inc. and highlights a boulder field in the area with a source yet to be located. Additional work was recommended up-ice of the discovery, within the Corvette-FCI Property, and has yet to be completed. The FCI Property also includes the Séricite Showing where a grab sample from a sulphide-bearing sericite schist returned 0.3 g/t Au, 150 g/t Ag, 1.89% Cu, 11.15% Pb, and 1.45% Zn. Although not a focus for the Company, the base and precious metal potential of the properties is evident and additional ground work is warranted.
Osisko will act as Operator of the FCI Property for the term of the 50% earn-in, with a Steering Committee of equal representation formed to provide advice and direction to the Operator. Upon completion of the 50% earn-in (third anniversary of TSX-V approval (or closing), a Joint Venture Corporation will be formed with the Company retaining an Option to acquire a further 25% interest, for a total of 75% undivided interest, though funding of the next $2,000,000 in exploration expenditures. The Company may become Operator upon notice to Osisko that it intends to incur the $2,000,000 in work expenditures for a final undivided interest of 75%. Osisko's remaining 25% interest may be further reduced through dilution if they elect to not fund their portion of subsequent exploration/development. If ownership falls below 10%, Osisko will have the right to convert this remaining interest into a 1% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR), of which, the Company retains the right to buy for $5,000,000 (cash or shares), and thereby, would obtain a 100% undivided interest in the FCI Property.

Nichols College is a private business college in Dudley, Massachusetts. Founded in 1815 as Nichols Academy, Nichols College offers both bachelor's and master's degrees, as well as certificate programs.

History

Nichols Academy
The institution was established in 1815 as Nichols Academy. Its founder was Amasa Nichols, a wealthy industrialist from Dudley, Massachusetts. Other early benefactors of the academy included textile manufacturers such as Samuel Slater. A Universalist, Amasa Nichols intended for the school to be center for Universalist education. He resigned his position as an academy trustee in 1823, after non-Universalists were admitted to the board of directors. Nichols Academy subsequently became a private academy offering either a "classical" or "English" education to both male and female students ages 12 to 21.

After free public schools opened in the surrounding area, enrollment dropped, and Nichols Academy trustees arranged with the town for the school to serve as the Dudley town high school beginning in 1871, an arrangement that lasted until 1909 when the academy closed its doors. The campus buildings, designed by such architects as Elbridge Boyden and Charles F. Wilcox, were then used by the town and leased to other educational institutions over time.

Nichols College
In 1931, James L. Conrad reorganized the school into Nichols Junior College of Business Administration and Executive Training, a two-year college, located on the Nichols Academy campus. The purpose of the school was to be a men-only, junior college for business education. In 1938, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts authorized Nichols Junior College to award an Associate Degree in Business Administration. Over time, the college purchased, constructed, and remodeled over forty-four buildings that would shape most of the current campus.

In 1958, the school became known as Nichols College, a four-year college with the authority to grant a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. In 1965, Nichols became accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and became a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the following year. In 1971, the school became co-educational, and the state authorized the college to award the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, and Bachelor of Science in Public Administration. In 1974, Nichols received the authority to grant the degree of Master of Business Administration. The college was accredited by the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education in 2005. In 2007, the college was granted authority to offer the degree of Master of Science in Organizational Leadership, and in 2017, the degree of Master of Science in Counterterrorism.

Since 1961, Nichols College has run the Alpha Pi chapter of the Delta Mu Delta honor society for business programs. Since 1980, it has also run their local chapter of the Alpha Phi Sigma honor society for criminal justice programs.

In 1980, the school established the Institute for American Values, later renamed the Robert C. Fischer Policy and Cultural Institute in 1999, as a space for students to think critically about contemporary world issues.

In 2013, the Institute for Women's Leadership was established with the goal of developing the leadership potential of female students. In that same year, the school hosted the Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education Conference.

Academics
Nichols College offers two undergraduate degrees: a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) and a Bachelor of Arts (BA). The school also offers two graduate degrees: a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and a Master of Science (MS). Certificates are also offered in similar disciplines.

The college also offers a four-year Professional Development Seminar (PDS) program of single-credit academic courses. First-year students receive mentoring with the transition to college, and then focus on developing a professional brand in their second year. The third year explores refining interviewing and networking skills, and the final year focuses on career and life after college.

Campus

The 200-acre Nichols College campus is separated into North and South Campus, which are divided by the Fels Student Center.

Opened in 2012, Fels is centrally located on the Nichols campus. At 30,000 square feet, the center houses the departments of student services, residential life, career services, club meetings spaces, food services, student lounges, a bookstore, and WNRC-LP, the campus radio station.

North Campus consists of ten college buildings, most of which are academic halls. The southernmost point is marked by Conrad Hall, while the westernmost is Conant Library. Along with Academy Hall, they are the oldest buildings on campus. South Campus consists of twelve buildings. The northernmost structure is the Currier Center, the southernmost is Kuppenheimer Hall, and the easternmost is the Athletic and Fitness Center.

Athletics
Nichols College Athletics—known as the Bison—offers a variety of sports for men and women, as well as coeducational ones. The Athletic and Fitness Center within North Campus includes Levy Rink, Robinson Tennis Courts, and Michael Vendetti Field, a multipurpose turf field used for field hockey, football, and lacrosse.

The Bison compete within the NCAA Division III, and since 1995, have been a member of the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC). The men's volleyball team plays within the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC). In terms of club sports, the club golf team competes in the National Collegiate Club Golf Association (NCCGA), the men's rugby team is part of the New England Rugby Football Union (NERFU). Former memberships include the Colonial Hockey Conference (CHC), Commonwealth Coast Football (CCF), Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), the New England Hockey Conference (NEHC), and the Worcester Collegiate Hockey League (WCHL).

Currently, the school offers eleven men's sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, track and field, and volleyball. There are also ten women's sports: basketball, cross country, field hockey, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, and volleyball. Coeducational athletics include cheerleading and esports, which competes within the National Association of Collegiate Esports.

Both men's and women's teams have won numerous CCC championships. The men's tennis squad won eight consecutive titles through the 2011–2012 to 2018–2019 seasons, and the women's team has won four titles in 2010-2011, 2016-2017, 2017–2018, and 2018-2019. The men's basketball team claimed three consecutive titles from 2016 to 2017 through 2018-2019, and the men's hockey team was victorious in 2017-2018. Men's soccer has won two titles in 2010 and 2014, and the women won three times, namely in 1996 and 2002. The women's field hockey team also lifted a trophy in 2009. Outside of the CCC, men's hockey has won three ECAC Northeast Championships in 2008-2009, 2013-2014, and 2014-2015, as well as the WCHL Tournament in 1971.

Notable head coaches of the men's football team include: Hal Chalmers (1947-1958), Harry Gaffney (1959-1961), Michael Vendetti (1962-1985), and Jim Crowley (1993-1995).

Pusha's show at Toronto's Danforth Music Hall was reportedly shut down abruptly after a group of audience members grew out of control and attempted to rush the stage.
Video surfaced online of the Pusha T concert, showing water being sprayed as the crowd diverts, with three people rushing the stage. "During that exodus, there were a number of people that were injured and then we had some other fights that occurred in that exodus and around the Danforth Music Hall".
After Pusha T and Drake became one of hip-hop's most prevalent and heated rivalries, many wondered how Pusha's Toronto appearance would transpire. Three people were injured and sent to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Later in the evening another man, who was apparently at the concert but may not have been involved in the fight, arrived at the hospital with serious stab wounds, police confirmed to the paper.
Pusha's security quickly jumped in to stop the stage crashers.
The male was at the concert and was stabbed either inside or outside of the venue and collapsed outside.
Officers and members of the forensic identification unit are now on scene collecting evidence.
Police have also not yet determined what initially sparked the violent incident, Hopkinson said. "Pusha T ran scared for his life even when surrounded by an army of security this man is no gangster so don't ever come to Toronto and disrespect the 6 God", another fan added.

Q: How to refactor the javascript code when sleep like functionality needed? I see there are lot's of threads here in SO about asking for a javascript sleep function and I know it can be done only using setTimeout and setInterval.
I do some userscripting with greasemonkey and written a script that loads a lot of pages and calculates something from them. It works, but I don't want to request the pages too fast.
var html0=syncGet(url0); // custom function for sync ajax call.
// fill the something array
for(var i=0;i<something.length;i++)
{
   // calculate url1,url2 using the array and the i variable
   // do something with lots of local variables
   var html1=syncGet(url1);
   // I would put a sleep here.
   // do something with the results
   var html2=syncGet(url2);
   // I would put a sleep here.
   // do something with the results
   // get url3 from the page loaded from url2
   var html3=syncGet(url3);
   // I would put a sleep here.
   // do something with the results
}
// use the result of the for loop and lots of code will follow...

The actual code is a bit more complex and longer than this.
I'm crying for the nonexistent sleep function (and understand why is it not possible) How to refactor this to use setTimeout, setInterval functions and keep it readable (and working) too?

A: For example this:
var urls = ["your","u","r","l´s"];
var htmls = new Array(urls.length);
var time = 1000;
for(var i=0;i<urls.length;i++){
    (function(i){
        setTimeout(function(){
            htmls[i] = syncGet(urls[i]);
            if(i == urls.length-1){
                //continue here
            }
        },time*i);
    })(i);
}

A: I had a similar problem where a big loop was blocking the whole browser in some older browsers, I solved it using :
function handlenext(idx,length) {
    idx++

    //do your stuff here base on idx.

    if (idx < length) {
        setTimeout(function(){handlenext(idx,length)},1)
    } else {
        initSuccessEnd()
    }
}

var ln = something.length;

if (ln>0) {
    handlenext(0,ln);
} else {
    initSuccessEnd()
}

here initSuccessEnd is a callback function called when all is finished ..

A: After a research I think Mozilla's new iterator-generator stuff could be the most apropriate. (It's supported since FF2)
function doSomething()
{
   //.....
      var html=syncGet(url1);
      yield true;
      var html2=syncGet(url2);
      yield true;
      var html3=syncGet(url3);
      yield true;
   //......
   yield false;
}

function iteratorRunner(iterator,timeout)
{
    if (iterator.next())
    {
       setTimeout(function(){iteratorRunner(iterator,timeout)},timeout);
    }
    else
    {
       iterator.close();
    }
}

var iterator=doSomething(); // returns an iterator immediately
iteratorRunner(iterator,1000); // runs the iterator and sleeps 1 second on every yield.

I hope greasemonkey will handle that...

Testing testing spoiler spoiler spoiler Yay! I found it! Thank you guys!
I am having trouble adding an avatar. I resized the picture to 65 x 65 pix, and tried lowering the quality, but every time I try to upload it I get the error that it is either too big or not an avatar.
I'll pass a note around to some of the more tech savvy mods to try to help you. You might send a PM to Elle with the picture you want to use, she's very good and can probably find a way to load it in for you.
Sorry, I figured it out. I hosted it on photobucket, should have thought of that before!
I probably shouldnit do this but i can't make a topic. How does it work.
Why can't I post my poll (in section X)?
Certain portions of the board are easier for everyone to deal with if polls aren't possible in them. The Canon section in particular would not benefit from polls placed there, they rightly belong in the speculation threads if they are about the books. "For Patty" and "Ask Patty", with or without answers, does not need polls.
Why can't I post on the question/comment for Patty?
To keep them easy for Patty to see and deal with; rather than drowning the original question or comment in speculation or only distantly related material, the moderators of the area will lock them either if someone brings in an answer (usually with a citation of where Patty said it) or Patty herself answers it. After that, it is moved to the area for "Responded", and remains locked, having been dealt with. You may comment in the Series or Book comments for the subject, either in an already existing thread, or by starting your own thread. If your thread duplicates an existing one, it will be merged with the older thread.
We have just discovered that the "report to moderator" option is currently not working, a casualty of the switch to the newer software. For now, please if you find spam or other inappropriate posts, report them to the moderators for the area, and if it's a spammer, to Patti & Elle. We'll update when Mr. Mike gets a fix up on it, after the remodel is done & they've moved back into their house.
Here is a short set of instructions for setting up a banner or signature for yourself.
On the tabs at the top of any page, go to "Profile"
Choose the "Modify Profile" tab.
Go to " Forum Profile"
and a box. If you have an image, use [ img](the code copy/pasted) &/or words[ /img], taking the spaces after the "[" brackets out.
Click on "change profile" on the lower right corner of the page.
At this time, the "notify of new posts on thread made while your post is typed" function is also not working. It doesn't hurt to check back on posts ahead of yours before you move to the next thread you want to look at or post in.

Women-Focused Coworking Space the Riveter to Expand to Portland
"We try to build benefits that fuel life and work, because I don't think the two really remain separate anymore," says Riveter founder Amy Nelson.

Amy Nelson wants to shatter the glass ceiling—one communal office space at a time. The Riveter, the company she launched with Kim Peltola in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood in 2017, operates five coworking spaces across Seattle, Los Angeles, and, soon, Austin. To be clear, these spaces are open to all entrepreneurs, but are especially focused on welcoming women and people of color working who might feel less comfortable in tech-bro spaces. Like other coworking spaces, the Riveter has Wi-Fi, private phone booths, conference rooms, and mail services, but also amenities like breastfeeding rooms and day care discounts.
Late last month, Nelson announced her intention to expand to five more cities, including Portland, by mid-2019. Nelson didn't give details on the Portland location, but we chatted with her to find how her expansion is going.
Why did you choose Portland?
Portland just has an incredible community of women doing incredible things. You have Emma Mcilroy from Wildfang who has built this brand and movement. And then you have a lot of amazing investors that are doing incredible things to help others.
What does the Riveter bring that other coworking spaces lack?
I think the workplace remains truly inequitable on many levels, not just for women but for people of color. I wanted to make a difference and change the paradigm.
If you look at the leaders of coworking spaces today, they're all founded by men. I think there's something really important within communities that very purposefully think of women's voices first. We are built by women, for everyone.

What benefits do members receive?
We try to build benefits that fuel life and work, because I don't think the two really remain separate anymore. On one hand, we have tangible benefits—discounts on airlines for work, discounts on childcare, discounts for Cloud credits.
We also offer the benefit of a community where we're very purposefully amplifying women's voices. We have programming about the hurdles women face in work, whether that's in a corporate environment or starting their own company. We have a whole bunch of programming about building inclusive workplaces and how men can be allies in the workplace.
Can you tell us more about the Riveter app?
It's available on your desktop and your phone. You can talk with other members and discuss resources you need—say you're looking for someone to help you build a financial model for your startup, or [you] need a coach to talk about the next stage of your career. You can also access our benefits and soon you will be able to participate in our events remotely, which we're really excited about.
You've expanded pretty aggressively so far. What are your long-term plans for the Riveter?
I say we build a hundred Riveters in the next five years. I think that's a realistic goal and one that makes sense.

Dutch Mayor to Fellow Muslims: "F*** Off If You Don't Like Freedom of Expression."
Mr. Ahmed Aboutaleb.
In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack, the Mayor of Rotterdam, Ahmed Aboutaleb, who holds both the Dutch and the Moroccan citizenship, told his fellow Muslims that "if you do not like it here because humorists you do not like make a newspaper, may I then say you can —- off," the Telegraph reported.
The Dutch mayor, who is Muslim, stressed that "it is incomprehensible that you can turn against freedom. But if you do not like freedom, in Heaven's name pack your bag and leave," he said.
"There may be a place in the world where you can be yourself," he further noted.
"Be honest with yourself and do not go and kill innocent journalists. And if you do not like it here because humorists you do not like make a newspaper, may I then say you can —- off."
It is worth reminding that Mr. Aboutalab was born in Morocco and was a former Minister in the Netherlands.

THE POWER OF WRITING A LOT OF SONGS
If you are trying to get a song recorded on a major artist, you are competing with professional writers who write a song almost every day. Those professionals are pumping out more than 200 songs a year in many cases. The sheer volume of material they produce increases their chances of getting a cut exponentially. Why, you might ask? Here is a story to illustrate. Recently, I pitched a song to an A&R person for a big shot artist. She responded that she loved the song, but she thought that it had already been cut. I told her that I had no knowledge of it being recorded.
I had my former publisher (who published the song in question) look into the situation. They discovered that the song was scheduled to be the first single for a rising star artist that had just been signed to a major record deal. Neither I nor my publisher had any idea that the artist in question was planning to cut the song.
The publisher of one of my co-writers had pitched the song and was working through the licensing process with the artist. They had neglected to let any of the other publishers know what was going on. A slight problem, but a good problem to have. I thanked the A&R person for letting me know and apologizing for pitching her a song that was already on "hold". She was very gracious.
The moral of the story is that if you write a LOT of great songs, good things will happen without you even knowing about them. You'll get a call out of the blue that you got a cut, or that someone is going to single your song. Those are nice surprises. The key is to just keep writing. Don't focus too much on making things "happen" with your songs. Focus more on write more, better songs. Work at making each song better than the last. Then the good things happen. Of course not automatically and you still have to work for it but if you do so, your chances will be much higher than you can think. Don't settle for decent ideas. Hold out for great ones. Go big. Those are the keys to writing songs that will get attention. Write great songs. A lot of them. And then write another one. And then another one.
Hangi Tavakoli is our in-house established and professional music producer with more than 15 years of experience in songwriting, music production, mix and mastering. He has produced more than 1500 and written more than 3000 published songs to-date, including some major hits in international scale.

Black America's suspicion toward law enforcement has a long history. In the nearly five decades since cops killed Fred Hampton, African-Americans have complained about the police shootings and beatings of Eleanor Bumpurs, Rodney King, Abner Louima, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell, Michael Brown, Tanesha Anderson, Tamir Rice, Akai Gurley, and thousands of other cases.
Those complaints were often dismissed by white society and the media, who were all too willing to accept the official police version of events. They dismissed our cries even when the official stories differed from the evidence. And they dismissed the significance of the problem even when a study released last year found that a Black person is killed every 28 hours by law enforcement, a security guard or a vigilante.
Each controversial shooting or beating produced a new round of solutions. Better police training. More "community policing." Expanded diversity in law enforcement. More data collection by the FBI. Dash cameras for police cars. Body cameras for officers. Ban chokeholds. Reform the grand jury system. Appoint special prosecutors. And yet none of these solutions, some of which have actually been implemented, will change the basic equation.
That's because the problem is not technology; it's psychology. It's the systemic, dehumanizing mentality that sees Black people as inherently suspicious, that exaggerates our size and our age, that attributes superhuman abilities to our physical stature, and envisions us less capable of pain and suffering. This could explain why cops waited seven minutes to give treatment to Eric Garner as he lay handcuffed and lifeless on the concrete sidewalk, or why officers in Ferguson blocked a nurse who wanted to aid Michael Brown, or why Cleveland police left 12-year-old Tamir Rice bleeding on the grass for four minutes without helping him.
America's civil rights laws of the 1960s prohibited overt discrimination but left in place the vestiges of state-sanctioned prejudice, racial discrimination and white supremacy. New York Mayor Bill De Blasio acknowledged as much on Wednesday in response to the anger felt in our communities. "Let's be clear," he said, "this is not based on decades of racism, this is based on centuries of racism."
"We treat racism in this country like it's a style that America went through," Chris Rock said in a recent interview. "Like flared legs and lava lamps. Oh, that crazy thing we did. We were hanging black people. We treat it like a fad instead of a disease that eradicates millions of people."
This helps explain why most proposed solutions to police brutality don't go far enough. They attempt to work within the system to build a better façade without dismantling the racist foundation that supports the system. But even with a coroner's conclusion that Eric Garner's death was a homicide and video evidence showing the officer using a banned chokehold, a grand jury voted not to indict the officer who killed him.
As Audre Lorde warned us, "the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change." If we change our policies without changing our attitudes and our systems, the public will continue to accept tired justifications for police killings that the victim was "no angel," resisted arrest or made a threatening move, and defenders of the police will continue to try to divert our attention toward the arbitrarily-constructed category of "Black-on-Black crime."
Nearly all crime is committed by perpetrators of the same race as the victim, but the greatest threat to any community is unpunished crime, not intraracial crime. When Blacks are killed by other Blacks, police make an arrest and charge someone. That rarely happens when cops kill Black people. That's why it's not helpful to change the "Black Lives Matter" mantra to the more general "All Lives Matter," which ignores the specific history of police mistreatment of African-Americans.
Over the past few months, I've walked with protesters in Ferguson, New York and Washington, D.C. Many of them are outraged by our criminal justice system and angry at politicians from both parties. I don't think they'll be satisfied with more studies and commissions. I don't hear them using ambiguous buzzwords like "reform" and "training" as a solution. I think they want something bigger. Deeper. More comprehensive. They want real change. Now.

Entrepreneurial Bootcamp for Disabled Vets Leads to Small Business Success
Seven years ago Marine Corps veteran John Raftery was starting a contracting firm in Dallas when he read an article about a small business training program for veterans with disabilities. That's when the trajectory of his two-person company, Patriot Contractors, Inc., took a fortunate left turn.
"I applied immediately for the EBV program," Raftery said. The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) program had just started at Syracuse University in New York, and Raftery was part of the inaugural EBV class in August 2007.
Thanks to the EBV program, Raftery said, the first critical steps toward building a successful construction firm were smart ones. "I don't think the business would have grown as quickly if not for the EBV program," he said. In 2012, Patriot Contractors, Inc. was on the Inc. (magazine) 500 list of the fastest growing U.S. companies, earning annual revenues of $5.3 million.
The U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of Veterans Business Development has partnered with several top universities to offer the EBV course. Since the program began at Syracuse University in 2007, more than 700 wounded warriors have completed the nine-day training course. The program focuses on helping transitioning veterans with disabilities make the shift to self-employment, develop professional networks, and start and grow sustainable businesses.
"SBA is committed to serve the veterans who have served America," said SBA Regional Administrator Yolanda Garcia Olivarez. "Their military careers have developed them to be strong leaders, equipped them with the skills and training to be outstanding entrepreneurs, which ultimately creates jobs and simulates the economy. We are very proud of John Raftery's service to our country and the creativity he has demonstrated in starting a business. He is supporting not only his family but the community as well".
Raftery, whose company does interior renovations for clients that have included Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, California, and Ft. Hood in Killeen, Texas, said that reconnecting with veterans was the initial benefit of the EBV course. "By that time I had been out of the service four years. This was the first time in years that I had been around so many vets. We spoke the same language. The camaraderie helped a lot with the final piece of the transition back to civilian life."
The training course, Raftery added, also instilled in him the confidence to plan for success. "At first I didn't know how to start a business but I had the desire. The folks at the EBV program explained how my military experience plays a huge role in entrepreneurship, and they gave us a great blueprint for bridging the gap between serving in the Marines and establishing a profitable business."
Learning the practical aspects of getting a small business off the ground, said Raftery, was the most useful part of the training. "I had questions, like `how do I write a business plan? What's a good business concept? How do I get startup capital?' I found that the course provided a good foundation for me to build on, from the startup phase to growing the business. The teaching was phenomenal."
Patriot Contractors, Inc. is now based in Waxahachie, Texas, and has landed contracts with military installations nationwide. Patriot was part of the award winning team led by Clark McCarthy HealthCare Partners at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton where they installed building specialties throughout the million square foot new hospital. The overall project was completed six months early, and $100 million under budget.
His competitive drive keeps him focused on getting to the next step. "I don't feel I've arrived yet. I know I'm blessed to be an entrepreneur, to be able to drive change in the world."
That drive, he said, is a quality he shares with most veterans. "And when I talk to vets who are thinking about starting a small business, and they ask me about EBV, I tell them the most important thing I learned in the program was to take more time to plan. If you spend more time planning, you'll be more successful in the long run.
"If you think running your own company is something you might want to do," Raftery continued, "explore EBV."
The Department of Defense designated November as Warrior Care Month, making it a time to honor the courage and sacrifices made by service members, while increasing public awareness of the various programs that help these veterans make the transition to civilian life.
Each year SBA helps more than 200,000 veterans, service-disabled veterans and reservists start and grow their small businesses. To learn more about additional opportunities for veterans available through the SBA, visit www.sba.gov/vets.

You Are Here:Home / Blog / What is a Flood Risk Assessment?
A Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) takes into account the risk and impact of flooding on the site and considers how the development may affect flooding in the local area. It also provides recommendations as to how the risk of flooding to the development can be mitigated.
The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) have been developed to provide specific support for architects, land surveyors and developers. Section 10 of the PPG covers 'Meeting the challenge of climate change, flooding and coastal change'.
What is the purpose of a Flood Risk Assessment?
So, an FRA should demonstrate the site will be safe, both now and in the future, taking into account the effects of climate change and the vulnerability of the type of development proposed.
Climate change predictions indicate significant increases in peak river flows and rainfall going forward over the coming decades. These allowances need to be weighed against the purpose for the site and how sensitive it will be to flooding. Residential housing is considered to be more vulnerable than commercial development.
What Should a Flood Risk Assessment include?
An FRA should take into account information about the existing and proposed development, the Environment Agency modeled flood zones and topography of the site. At its most simple level, an FRA can provide an indication of whether a development will be allowed to take place at a site.
They consist of a detailed analysis of available data of flood risk at an individual site and can also recommend to the developer any flood mitigation measures. More detailed analysis of flood risk to account for highly localised variations can be undertaken. The Environment Agency's flood zones do not always take full account of these.
FRAs should also consider flooding from all sources including pluvial (surface water from rainfall) fluvial (river flooding), groundwater, estuary/coastal and sewer flooding.
Understanding the sources of flooding will allow appropriate flood mitigation measures to be designed.
GeoSmart's FloodSmart reports provide clear and pragmatic advice regarding the nature and potential significance of flood hazards which may be present.

Today is an exciting day for Xiaomi fans. This Chinese smartphone OEM has introduced the new version of their Android-based MIUI OS, and a new smartphone. We've already covered the announcement of the MIUI 7, in case you'd like to check that out. Let's focus on the other announcement Xiaomi made today, they've finally announced the long awaited Redmi Note 2 handset. The original Redmi Note was announced back in March 2014, and it was about time Xiaomi announces its successor. We've seen a ton of leaks thus far, let's see how accurate they were.
The long-awaited Redmi Note 2 mid-ranger has finally been uneviled by Xiaomi, and it turns out that the rumors which surfaced recently were somewhat accurate, not entirely though. The Redmi Note 2 features a 5.5-inch 1080p (1920 x 1080) display along with 2GB of RAM and either 16 or 32GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD card), depending on which variant you decide to purchase. MediaTek's Helio X10 (MT6795) 64-bit octa-core SoC running at 2.0GHz powers this handset, and the device will ship with a 3,060mAh removable battery on the inside. The Redmi Note 2 features a 13-megapixel camera (Samsung's sensor) on the back, and PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus) is also included here. The 5-megapixel snapper (OmniVision' sensor) is located up front, and this device also comes with a built-in IR blaster up top. The Redmi Note 2 will come in five color options: Black, White, Cyan, Yellow and Pink. The device measures 152 x 76 x 8.25mm, while it weighs 160 grams.
One thing worth mentoining here is the fact that Redmi Note 2 won't ship with MIUI 7 out of the box, new version of Xiaomi's UI will reach Redmi Note 2 at a later date. That being said, the Redmi Note 2 will be available online in China starting August 16th, and will be priced at 799 Yuan ($125) and 899 Yuan ($140). Both prices refer to the 16GB model of the device, the only difference is in LTE bands. The cheaper variant supports TDD-LTE and TD-SCDMA, while the more expensive variant comes with support for TDD-LTE and FDD-LTE (Chinese carriers). It is also worth mentioning that the 32GB model of this device carries the name Redmi Note 2 Prime and costs 999 Yuan ($156).

THE QUAKE (Skjelvet): Hasta La Vista, Oslo!
Starring Kristoffer Joner, Ane Dahl Torp, Jones Hoff Oftebro, Edith Haagenrud-Sande, Kathrine Thorborg Johansen. Directed by John Andreas Andersen. (2018/106 min).
AVAILABLE ON BLU-RAY, DVD & DIGITAL FROM MAGNOLIA PICTURES
Review by Tiger the Terrible😸
The Quake is a sequel to the 2015 Norwegian film, The Wave, which I loved. Big-budget disaster movies are kinda rare these days - at least in Hollywood - so I especially appreciated its relatively serious approach to the genre. In that one, a massive avalanche causes a tsunami that destroys a quaint tourist town. In true disaster tradition, one geologist tries to warn the locals of impending doom, but is ignored until it's too late.
That geologist, Kristian (Kristoffer Joner), is back. It's three years later and he's now living alone, estranged from his family and still unable to get over the disaster that killed hundreds. When an underground tunnel in Oslo collapses and kills a former colleague, Kristian feels compelled to investigate the cause. After studying the man's research, he becomes convinced Oslo is about to be hit by a massive earthquake worse than one that destroyed the city in 1904. Naturally, his dire concerns fall on deaf ears, including his ex-wife, Idun (Ane Dahl Torp), who has since moved to Oslo with their two kids, Sondre and Julia. But of course, Kristian eventually turns out to be right.
A very bad day at the office.
While the law of diminishing returns certainly applies,The Quake has the distinction of being the only disaster sequel I've ever seen that doesn't suck. Similar in structure to The Wave, the film takes the time to establish its characters (or re-establish them, in this case), featuring grounded performances and science that at-least sounds authentic. Scenes leading up to the disaster are occasionally meandering, but when the quake finally hits, the film is truly gripping, bolstered by some pretty spectacular - and convincing - special effects. In the aftermath, Kristian tries to rescue Julia from the top floor of a slowly crumbling skyscraper, a monumentally suspenseful sequence that's so masterfully executed one can forgive the contrived circumstances leading up to it.
While The Quake succumbs to a few genre tropes that The Wave mostly managed to avoid, it's an entertaining film that gives patient disaster fans their money's worth and is definitely worth seeking out. Since a few recurring characters are its only connecting thread, it works as both a sequel and a stand-alone story.
